ere they are below, listed in the order you'll encounter them - all the classroom questions, pop quiz moments and the like you'll encounter. We also cover all of the exams you face in Persona 4 Golden as well, of course. Getting these questions wrong won't hurt, but you will miss out on helpful bonuses.
